Loving O.P.I...

It's the worst kept secret in the blogger world; Essie nail polishes are reduced to £1.99 on Fragrance Direct's website. Whilst everyone is rushing to grab a few bottles before they're gone, did you realise that O.P.I is also reduced to £3.99? 

I discovered this the other day and immediately started googling swatches for each other colours, before dropping "Don't Mess With OPI" and "I Brake For Manicures" into my basket. After arriving promptly in second class post, these two babies have been fast tracked into the "must blog about" pile.

I tried both out immediately using my nail wheels, and as expected, love both colours. The pigmentation is very good on the brown "I Brake For Manicures" but two coats is imperative to achieve the desired Green finish with "Don't Mess With OPI". 

What do you think of the colours I chose? Do you love O.P.I too?

Nails on Sunday - Essie Haul

Today's "Nails on Sunday" post is taking a different form. Instead of posting a tutorial for a nail art design as I usually do, I wanted to share with you all the five new loves in my life - my new Essie nail polishes.

I'm assuming the type of girls that read my blog are pretty similar to me, so Essie certainly won't be a new brand to you. But, this offer might be. Fragrance Direct are currently selling Essie polishes at £1.99.. yes, you read that right, £1.99 on their website, reduced from £7.99. When I first saw this I couldn't quite believe my eyes, and naturally snapped up the deal immediately.

I bought five colours, and am loving every single one of them. I'll upload some Instagram shots throughout the week of actual swatches on my nails, but for now, here's the gorgeous colours I went for (including the blogger must have - 'Bikini So Teeny'.

Cascade Cool - a beautiful light bubblegum pink

Mojito Madness - a vibrant but not too shocking green

All Tied Up - sort of rose gold coloured, with a golden shimmer running through it

Off The Shoulder - a deeper, brighter pink than Cascade Cool

Bikini So Teeny - a beautiful pastel blue with a shimmer running through it

I think my favourite one has to be Mojito Madness, as the colour is so bright and beautiful. This week's Tuesday Reviewsday will be on the polishes, so make sure you check back if you have never used Essie before.

Which is your favourite?
